The hospital I work at affiliated with Unity Point Health and we have gained many resources in the process. The every day running of the hospital has been minimally effected by the affiliation, but the positive changes are obvious in the improved outcomes of our patients.

Cons

The affiliation required our hospital to change its name to reflect our new partnership. The community had grown accustomed to the name of the hospital as well as the logo residing on the sides of our building. It will take time to adjust to these changes.
